9:02 a.m.: At Caltrain Station at Fifth and King. Paul Aranautoff is buying his ticket, four hours before game time. "I'm nervous. My family has been doing this for 20 years, but this is a lot farther."

9:09 a.m.: There's no mention of the special train at 9:35. No listing on the electronic message board. Jerry Mullen, who has the coolest name for a job - "train master" - tells people there are special trains at 9:35 and 9:55, but not many know. Virtually all fans jump on the 9:15. So plenty of room on the 9:35.

9:33 a.m.: On the special. Caltrain guy yells, "Allllllllll aboard!" Suddenly Alex Nunez blasts through the door, stops in the aisle and shouts, "Woooooooo! Made it! I lost my wallet at a bar last night, I had to borrow money from people in the station, but I AM HERE! I am part of history." [START TIME: 9:35]

9:36 a.m.: Caltrain guy to Alex. "You can be as excited as you'd like, but keep it down, OK?"

9:48 a.m.: Quiet ride. Jack Muskat from Toronto says he's not a real football fan. "What do I know?" He and Alex debate socialized medicine. Rolling past Candlestick Park. I think I can still see some Paul McCartney fans trying to get out.

11:35 a.m.: Ashley and Tim Haney pull up on bikes and park them in the dedicated bike corral. They intended to take the San Tomas Aquino Creek Bike Trail, but it's apparently closed for games. Overall, their ride only took about 10 minutes - from the car they parked in Lot 4.
